State Chemist Wolfe's annual rpport,
p resented in the Legislature Thu o az,
says the home trade in fertilizers has
been quite active during the past year;
the brands sold In the State exhibit little
change; the quality is generally satisfac.
tory, and only few exceptionally low
grade fertilizers have been observed. He
submits analysis showing the commercial
value of fertilizers examined during tue
year, which. he says, is not necessarily
synonymous with their fertilizing value,
which may depend largely on soil, crop
and weather, II the selling price In Int
81 or SO per ton more than tha analytical
value it may still 'be fair price; if the
selling price is S5 per ton over the esti-
mated value it would be we'll to look fur
ther. The analytical values are founded
on the basis of 18 cents per pound for
ammonia, cents for soluble phosphorio
arid, cents fer insoluble phosphoric
acid in ammoniated fertilizers. 2 cents for
insoluble phosphoric acid In y O rock,
8 cents for phcsphoric scid in ground
bone, s cents for potash. Follo3ing are
the reported commercial values of tie
